Suing the woman who gave birth to you raised you, fed, you clothed you, changed your diapers, wiped your ass and basically enabled you to be the success you are today... thats cold.

And selling memorabilia that was given as a gift isn't cold?

Especially after the millions of dollars Kobe has given to his parents.

According to ESPN.com, the dispute supposedly started when Kobe offer to give his mom, Pamela Bryant, $250,000 towards a new home, but she balked at that amount, instead insisting on $450,000. She then went to Goldin Auctions, the same auction house that recently sold a Honus Wagner baseball card for $2.1 million, and struck a deal for which she received $450,000 in up front money.
